I honestly do not think that the helmets and armor skins which have been revealed are very aesthetically pleasing.

Does anyone else feel the same way? I’m really hoping that there are a lot better looking skins and helmets. I’ll probably end up wearing something from the old games (Mark V or Mark VI), since that’s what I usually do.
They’re growing on me. Its nice that they’ve took a risk.
I think as long as they have a lot of the old style armor as well everyone COULD be happy.
I love the new look of HAZOP, hated how it looked in Reach.
I’m not gonna judge until I’ve seen some gameplay footage of these skins, I’m sceptical though as to whether I’m going to like them…

I agree with LP here.
But the Splinter Cell three dot thing?
Not a huge fan.
But that Locus helmet looks sweet.
Like I’ve said elsewhere, now I’ve seen them I wonder if they’ll be an in-game skin editor? Something similar to Forza Motorsport maybe?
Not sure if that would be a good or bad thing though…
I’m just a little sad that from what I’ve seen, the visors on most of the helmets don’t play as big of a roll as it has. Halo has been about an unknown hero hidden behind a big visor since 2001 and I’ve always loved them

I agree. The large visor has played a big role in the story and my personal connection to the game. I’m sure 343 wouldn’t phase out any of the old gear to make your spartan look cool. People love that stuff way too much to get rid of it.
The thing is we haven’t seen these skins on our Spartans in the “game” we have only seen these skins on regular pictures not in gameplay. I still like them either way.
The visors aren’t visors anymore.
This is my only concern.
I think they look pretty cool. However, it doesn’t look like . . . “Halo.” But I have to remember that 343i is adding their own touch to it.

Agreed, I’ll have trouble deciding which helmet I’ll want to use this time around. HAZOP looks amazing, but so does GUNGNIR again. I’m willing to bet there will be a lot more cool looking armours too!

Role* lol fast fingers = inaccurate spelling
The visor on the HAZOP make him look like you just told him that he can’t go to Pizza Hut after the big game.
Has anyone noticed that the forest skin is exactly like the spetsnaz’s skin?
Honestly I love this new armour; there were only a few good sets in Reach. But if all the armour in H4 ends up looking like this then I think were in for a real treat!
> Has anyone noticed that the forest skin is exactly like the spetsnaz’s skin?
Spetsnaz also have a lot of black in theirs too, but I do see the similarities.
EDIT: What am I thinking? The under suit is black. So yeah, it does look about the same.
You mean the Color they chose to portray it in the pre-order image looks like it, the colors are costumizable
The Locus helmet is actually looking good IMO. I just hope my trusty old Mark V is available, I’ve used it in Halo 3 and in Reach. Still, Locus looks alright
